Golf Cart Accident Attorney

When most people think about a golf cart or golf car, they don’t consider them to be dangerous modes of transportation. Golf carts are thought of as safe, reliable, and versatile.

What can Cause a Golf Cart Accident

Impaired Driving / Driving under the influence – Many believe that because a golf cart isn’t an actual car, it is safe to drive after drinking. This, of course, is untrue.

Negligence –Distractions such as texting, eating, reaching for objects, children on the cart with the driver, and other distractions take a driver’s eyes off the road and can quickly cause collisions.
